A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230227757A1) describes a method for forming a gel or gel-like detergent composition. The method involves dosing a solid composition and a liquid composition into a water-soluble container. The gel or gel-like composition can be used as an automatic dishwashing detergent.
In this method, the solid composition is dosed before the liquid composition, and both compositions are dosed from separate nozzles. The dosing process takes place while the water-soluble container is moving on an endless surface. The solid composition may contain a builder and/or a bleach activator, while the liquid composition may contain a non-ionic surfactant.
Importantly, the gel or gel-like composition does not require a non-functional structuring or thickening agent. It is a solid-in-liquid dispersion with a density greater than 1 g/cm3. This unique composition can be prepared using the method described in the patent.
The patent also mentions a detergent composition prepared using this method. The gel or gel-like composition can be contained in a water-soluble pouch, preferably a multi-chamber water-soluble pouch. This allows for convenient and controlled dosing of the detergent composition.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method of using the detergent composition in an automatic dishwasher. This suggests that the gel or gel-like composition is suitable for use in household dishwashing machines.
Overall, this patent presents a novel method for forming a gel or gel-like detergent composition that can be used as an automatic dishwashing detergent. The method involves dosing a solid composition and a liquid composition into a water-soluble container. The resulting composition does not require a non-functional structuring or thickening agent and can be conveniently used in an automatic dishwasher.
